its not merit fishing. many liars i have came across do so to pin bitcoin as a not fit for purpose network so they can advertise some other crap system involving middle men getting paid to perform payments for others of some insecured tokenised version of 'bitcoin'. mostly scams and systems that have exploits.
these liars are doing it for personal greed.

This is another method of merit fishing by fabricating stories and present it to the forum as if it was real. This is the reason why pictures are needed to back up your claims. They don't know that those stories wouldn't give them merits but instead it will make forum members to see them as dishonest people and might even lead to putting them on ignore. It is better in improve yourself my learning and your own research so to grow in the forum rather cooking up lies because for how long will you cook up lies that will make you grow in the forum and improve yourself.
I'm not creating this thread to wrong or offend anyone, because i have read so many post that is like fiction, even though cooperate with system, so many thread in Bitcoin discussion mostly newbies like me do frame a story that is not real in Bitcoin and also said a story of what they achieve in Bitcoin that is not real and present to the public to read and take as real story whereas it's a fiction, I want the reason behind someone given a fiction story to the forum. I want ask a question as an old forum user, is it not prohibited when someone discussed something that is not contrary to bitcoin education in this board.
I guess members here can distinguish fact from fiction from totally trolling. And specially stories that came from newbies and too good to be true story?
For sure the members are going to ask him a lot of question to that point that we can say that he is just making up stories to get some merits.
So if you find new threads here, then you can ask the OP itself and if he didn't come back to answer then simply ignore him/her.
And then there are newbies who simply shill for certain projects and it's going to be obvious as well.
I understand that such posts are not good, but trying to ban them will require us to fully verify them, and sometimes that is difficult, such as the stories that I built my house with Bitcoin or bought my first phone or computer with my posts in this forum.
Just click on ignore and people will stop when no one intract with them
We all know that they fabricate the story, but yet more people will continue to do same, but at least if they can provide evidence to all those stories it would have be better than making a generic stories. If I'm the one who can be moved with this kind of stories I will not have sympathy on them because all the information is fake and is worth to emulate. I know that everyone has right to exercise it opinion but some opinion is suppose to be informative not giving a fiction. I will not like the situation where by the will be ban because of those kind of stories but let the thread should locked or trashed by the mod, i think that should be nice than banning Just click on ignore and people will stop when no one intract with them
The forum allows you the freedom to share your ideas as long as you respect others and do not conflict with bitcointalk rules. So unless the story is completely fictional, you are allowed to share it.
The problem lies in lying and trying to fabricate stories to attract, arouse sympathy, or obtain donations or merits, and sometimes this may be to complete paid posts.

The only reason I can possibly think of right now is “merit fishing”.
If you check those threads that the stories were obviously made up, you’ll notice that the first set of people that made threads like that were actually awarded with merits because forum members thought they were being sincere but after discovering that they were all spitting out bullshits none of the recent ones got merit.

Instead of formulating what is not real to write, it's better to make research of bitcoin and educate others through your research, some people make some posts without making it to be informative, some gives testimonies of their achievement with bitcoin without proven the evidence. I think we are to exchange of bitcoin knowledge and share experience's of bitcoins to each other not to give a fake information of what Bitcoin has done to you without evidence.
